Hey everyone,

Wanted to open up a serious discussion on FPS Input Lag: Exclusive Fullscreen vs Borderless Windowed (Windows 11 MPO).

From my testing and competitive experience: Bypasses the Windows Desktop Window Manager completely; guarantees absolute minimum frame render latency.

Crashing your entire graphics driver because you Alt-Tabbed out of an exclusive fullscreen game.
